Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The dehydration of CH₃-CH2-CH2-OH in the presence of acid will result in the removal of one molecule of water (H₂O) from the alcohol functional group (-OH) and a hydrogen atom from the adjacent carbon, leading to the formation of a double bond between the two adjacent carbons. Therefore, the product formed will be propene (CH3-CH=CH2), which is the best choice among the given options.
